I am writing a term paper on Margaret
Sanger and I was wondering if you knew
why Margaret started her movement. Also,
why did she start the Woman Rebel and what
were her goals when starting it? If there
is anything else you could tell me related
to what I asked, that would be great!

Thanks for your time!

Jade --

Ellen Chesler wrote a great
biography of Sanger, you should certainly
reference that.

In general, she was motivated
to do her work because as a nurse she was
seeing many women die from botched self-abortions
and realized that women needed access to
birth control to help regulate their fertility.
I don't know why she started Woman Rebel
-- but my guess is to find her allies and
to publicize her findings.
